It is important to ensure your AWS system is healthy. AWS provides AWS CloudWatch as a way to check on the health of your system. To check on the cloudSwXtch EC2 instance: 

  1. Search for "CloudWatch" in the AWS Search bar.

  2. Select "All Metrics" on the left tree menu under "Metrics."

  3. Select "EC2."

  4. Select "Per-Instance Metrics." 

  5. Sort as desired. Instance ID works well. 

  6. View data in graph. 

WARNING

A cloudSwXtch instance will consume CPU even when the connected agents are not producing/consuming data. This is because there are several vCPUs configured to constantly watch the interfaces.
